Job description

We’re Hiring: Business Development Manager - Sales

Gold Coast | Full Time

We hire for ambition, drive and attitude.

We’re a growing B2B events business behind some of Australia’s leading trade exhibitions. We’re looking for a Business Development Manager who wants to win.

If you’ve sold B2B, especially exhibition space, sponsorship or advertising, that’s a real advantage. But your track record matters less than your hunger.

We can teach you the industry.

We can teach you our sales process.

What we can’t teach is ambition, drive and the will to succeed.

This is a hunting role. You’ll be:

• Researching industries and finding businesses that should be in front of our audiences
• Building your own pipeline from scratch
• Picking up the phone to people you’ve never met and starting real conversations
• Turning those conversations into partnerships worth tens of thousands of dollars

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Love the chase of new business more than managing existing accounts
• Are naturally curious and enjoy digging into how a business makes money
• Take ownership and don’t wait to be told what to do next
• Use technology and AI to research smarter and move faster
• Are resilient. A “no” today is information, not a reason to stop
• Want your results to drive your earnings and your career

This isn’t an easy sales role. There will be rejection. There will be challenges.

There will also be coaching, real career progression, and earnings that grow with what you deliver.

If you’d rather create opportunities than wait for them, we want to hear from you.
